Also there's no option for "never drinks but is not a teetotaler". I don't have anything against drinking, I could if I wanted to, but I don't. Teetotalism implies rigidness/preaching.
- dspillett 12y agoI know a few people who are total themselves, but don't preach. In fact one or two are happy to join us at the pub (though my regular circles are not "silly drinkers" so that might change if we were).
- untothebreach 12y agoI never thought it implied that. I have certainly known some people who didn't drink, and were preachy about it, but they have been the minority. The vast majority of people I know who don't drink tend to be pretty cool about it. Though, being a sober person around a bunch of drunk people would try anyone's patience, so I tend to just stay away from places that I know will be filled with drunk people.
